"I had a house in a nice neighborhood I was planning on fixing up over time. I ended up meeting someone very dear to my heart and got married. We purchased a nice home we could live in together. I gradually found less time to work on my other house and as time progressed I realized all the little things I didn't budget for were adding up. All the time I was working on the house was time away from my new wife. I eventually got sick of making payments on an empty house and being away from my wife. It was becoming a financial burden and I didn't want to get myself in trouble. That's when I called Mike. His company immediately took over the payments on my house, got it fixed up in a hurry and resold it. I was sure leery at first, but after all is said and done, I couldn't be happier. He did everything just like our agreement said. Mike bought the house in less than a week. I didn't think they could really do that. He explained the whole thing in plain English and really treated me like gold. In today's age when its hard to trust anyone, thanks for living up to your word. I appreciate everything and will tell all my friends and family. Thanks again." Jason D., Colorado Springs,CO

"We were very excited to have found Swiftresults. It was great to find a company that could work with our time line and our needs. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Thank you for all your hard work.The Rileys

"I had gone through a divorce and ended up keeping the house. After trying for about a year to make ends meet I realized I could not do it. I was facing the problem of a possible foreclosure. This is when I met Mike. I had tried to sell my house for about eight months when I received Mike's letter in the mail. I contacted him and within a couple of weeks Mike was able to arrange a closing on my home and take over my payments. Mike was always professional and prompt in our business dealings. I am absolutely satisfied with the transaction and would recommend Mike to anyone trying to sell their home. I work for a local Law Enforcement agency and I trusted Mike in my situation and you can to. I just want to thank Mike for his help again, he is a real lifesaver in tight situations." Isaac P.

"Thanks so much Michael. We tried to sell our home for nearly a year. Your professionalism and courtesy made the process enjoyable and easy. We finally were able to accomplish what we wanted without all the headache of a traditional way of selling homes. We recommend it to anyone. God Bless!Javin and Wendy Baker

" To whom it may concern,Michael Jake sent us a card in the mail. It came at the worst time in our lives, but we feel it was brought by God. He came to our house with a smile and warm greeting.

We even hope to purchase a home from him when we get back on our feet again.Thank you so much Michael: You are truly our angel from above"Sheryl Patterson

"I am a local realtor in Colorado Springs. I had a short sale listing that was about to foreclose. The bank said they needed us to close the next day or it was going to foreclose Wednesday.

"Nearly 4 million Americans are more than 60 days behind on their mortgage, and countless others are only a paycheck away from missing a mortgage payment. You're not alone. " That's why we're here, to help home owners like you when you need it most.

"Mike first purchased our house here in Colorado Springs when an opportunity for a better house arose. He closed quickly around our schedule and everything went smoothly. If we listed it with a realtor we'd be lucky to break even once we paid the commissions and closing costs. We didn't even need to do any little fix up things that a picky buyer would have wanted us to do.Mike took over the payments, made them all on time till the he resold the house, just like he said. He kept all his promises and has been readily accessible afterwards any time I had a question. Because of that, I called him on another property I had. I had inherited a small office building in Huntsville, Alabama and was having no luck getting it sold with a friend of mine who was a local Realtor. I was getting more and more frustrated since she didn't seem to be able to give me any feedback or suggestions to get it handled. It was even hard to get a phone call returned and she was supposed to be a friend. After a year listing expired, I called Mike to see if he could do anything. He said it was not his area of expertise, but since we had the faith to work with him before, he went to work to see what needed done. He was able to buy it, all cash, and got it done really fast. The closing was handled by an attorney in Huntsville, but I didn't even have to show up. Mike coordinated everything, and I got a nice big check in the mail.Thanks, Mike for keeping your word and offering a great service. I hope I can send you referrals of other folks who could benefit from what you have to offer!"Jamie Perry, U.S. Army
